    Entropic uncertainty measure for fluctuations in two-level electron-phonon models

    Two-level electron-phonon systems with reflection symmetry linearly coupled to one or two phonon modes (exciton and E⊗(b1+b2)\otimes(b_1+b_2) Jahn-Teller model) exhibit strong enhancement of quantum fluctuations of the phonon coordinates and momenta due to the complex interplay of quantum fluctuations and nonlinearities inherent to the models. We show that for the complex correlated quantum fluctuations of the anisotropic two-level systems the Shannon entropies of phonon coordinate and momentum and their sum yield their proper global description. On the other hand, the variance measures of the Heisenberg uncertainties suffer from several shortcomings to provide proper description of the fluctuations. Wave functions, related entropies and variances were determined by direct numerical simulations. Illustrative variational calculations were performed to demonstrate the effect on an analytically tractable exciton model.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figs, published in Eur.Phys.J 38 B (2004) 25-3

    The Energy Density of the Quaternionic Field as Dark Energy in the Universe

    Full text link
    In this article we describe a model of the universe consisting of a mixture of the ordinary matter and a so-called cosmic quaternionic field. The basic idea here consists in an attempt to interpret Λ\Lambda as the energy density of the quaternionic field whose source is any form of energy including the proper energy density of this field. We set the energy density of this field to Λ\Lambda and show that the ratio of ordinary dark matter energy density assigned to Λ\Lambda is constant during the cosmic evolution. We investigate the interaction of the quaternionic field with the ordinary dark matter and show that this field exerts a force on the moving dark matter which might possible create the dark matter in the early universe. Such determined Λ\Lambda fulfils the requirements asked from the dark energy. In this model of the universe, the cosmical constant, the fine-tuning and the age problems might be solved. Finally, we sketch the evolution of the universe with the cosmic quaternionic field and show that the energy density of the cosmic quaternionic field might be a possible candidate for the dark energy.Comment: 15 page
